When switching from White ink to cleaning
liquid, clean the ink supply port on the removed

the ink supply port to absorb the ink. You do not
need to wipe off the ink. Do not forcefully press
or move the Cleaning Stick.
Observe the following precautions when storing
the partially used Ink Supply Units that were
removed.
